Couple of Thoughts On The Police Officer Shooting . . .

....today which happened in Tarrant County (but only a stones throw away from Wise County). The alleged gunman, after shooting the officer, reportedly fled to a random neighbor's house (occupied by a mother and daughter) and broke the door in. (1) According to Fox 4 News tonight "The mother managed to call 911 and escape but the daughter remained with the gunman." Say what? (Update: The "daughter" was 24 years old so that makes it a little different). (2) You have to like that shot of the the paramedic checking the guy's blood pressure after he had surrendered but before he was placed into the police car. (3) The injured officer (I hope it's only "injured") has a 9 year old daughter and 4 year old son.
